These are but not limited to, increased energy and relief of fatigue, flushes out toxins, boosts your immune system, and puts you in an overall good mood! In fact, water is useful not only for the body but for the world as a whole. Without water to drink and to wash we will not survive for long. This is also true for the Living Water. God\u2019s Word speaks of water in a symbolic manner. One such scripture is our key scripture in Ephesians 5:25-26 where Paul speaks about God\u2019s word being like water that sanctifies and cleanses His church.<\/p>\n<p>God\u2019s Word \u2013 like water &#8211; has many benefits:<\/p>\n<p>Increase energy and reduces fatigue \u2013 \u2018<em>This is my comfort and consolation in my affliction: that Your word has revived me and given me life\u2019<\/em> (Psalm 119:50).<\/p>\n<p>Removes toxins \u2013 \u2018<em>How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word<\/em>\u2019 (Psalm 119:9).<\/p>\n<p>Boost spiritual immunity so you can withstand the attacks of the devil \u2013 \u2018<em>Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil\u2019s schemes \u2026 the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God\u2019 <\/em>(Ephesians 6:11 &amp; 17).<\/p>\n<p>Provides emotional support; it puts you in a good mood \u2013 \u2018<em>I rejoice at Your word as one who finds great spoil<\/em>\u2019 (Psalm 119:162).<\/p>\n<p>Today allow God\u2019s Word to wash over your spirit, and to be your source of encouragement and strength. Make sure you drink from the Living Water daily. You\u2019ll never run dry if you do!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday, September 17 Water and the Word \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 That He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word.
